No.
GA Cap Marvel is SA level Superman. Supes was actually powered up to match Cap from whiz comics who was outselling him (had sales over a million copies per issue). Pre the release of Whiz Supes was only able to leap tall buildibgs etc but his powers steadily rose from march 42 to the point that by 43 he was SA level.
Dr Fate had a lot of energy and matter manip showings in mbps the GA that put him SS level plus his magic and super strength etc. He could TK a planet out of orbit into a sun, and play with time like nothing.
HM and HG actually had showings of super strength beyond the few tons of the modern era (though no explaination as to why)
Flash (jay ) was light speed which in the moder era he's stated a few times he cant do, though has done with speed steal. He could also phase, be completely invisible with vibration and travelled time without a cosmic treadmill.
Alan could do anything a SA GL could, though he stil squarely had the wood weakness that he lost in the 90's. He was also shown to matter manip which modern lanterns havent.
I'd say power wise they were less restricted than SA
